Spotlight on AlumniOur alumni live and work all over the world in every field imaginable. Read below our graduates’ stories and the impact Tower has had on their lives.

“I probably didn’t appreciate just how valuable my Tower education was until early in my career. I don’t think I truly appreciated how impactful my experience and education at Tower was or how much it has shaped who I am today.  I may have even dismissed it a little. But I think about how it has prepared me for so many situations.”

Hayden recalls that his love for science and outdoor learning began at Tower. He was excited about going outside for classes and enjoying the full range of experiences that immersed him in science, such as the 5th grade sleepover in the Museum of Science and his class trip to Nature’s Classroom.

My advice to current Tower students is something I heard from dozens of adults while I was in school, but that I never appreciated as deeply as I do now – take advantage of every opportunity. Though it sounds cliché, Tower has so many incredible resources, and the best thing you can possibly do is seize every opportunity you can to explore new things, try new things, and learn new things.

Halle’s advice for current Tower students is to “stick with your gut and do what makes you happy.” Halle looks back on her time at Tower and how it inspired her love of history and art.

“If you can make a career doing what you love, you’ll look forward to work every day. Listen to those inner voices, it’s right there. Love snowboarding? Work for Burton. Passionate about fly-fishing? Get a job at Orvis. Once you determine your passion, chase experience, not money, and that’s what will make you the most successful in the long run.”
